12.9.3 Upload Router Configuration File using TFTP
Even though TFTP should work over WAN as well, it is not recommended.
To use TFTP, your workstation must have both telnet and TFTP clients. To transfer the configuration file,
follow the procedure below.
Use telnet from your workstation to connect to the Prestige and log in. Because TFTP does not have any
security checks, the Prestige records the IP address of the telnet client and accepts TFTP requests only from
this address.
Step 1. Launch the TFTP client on your workstation and connect to the Prestige. Set the transfer mode
to binary before starting data transfer.
Step 2. Go to SMT menu 24.7.2. Note that you must remain in this menu until file transfer is complete.
Step 3. Use the TFTP client to transfer files between the Prestige and the workstation.
Step 4. Specify “rom-0” as the remote file name on the Prestige.
Step 5. The system reboots automatically after the upload router configuration file process is complete.
Note that the telnet connection must be active before and during the TFTP transfer. For details on TFTP
commands, please consult the documentation of your TFTP client program. For UNIX, use “put” to
transfer from the workstation to the Prestige, and “binary” to set binary transfer mode.
